Hi Up North,
So sorry you will be joining so many of the rest of us. I havent worked for 1 year 6 mos. DH was out of work for months. We was forced to retire and it isant much more than unempliyment was. Thank goodness for SS and I can start drawing in Aug. Just not to many hireing us older ones. Just get things lined out and start looking and hope you find something else soon, but like some of the other's said quilt, quilt, and quilt. If you are like most of us quilter's this is time to use the stach. I was so blessed to have a stash, threads, and my sewing machiine was paid for about a year before I was out of work... Best wishes.
